RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD
1985, Park Circus/MGM, 90 min, USA, Dir: Dan O’Bannon
"They’re Back… They’re Hungry… And they’re NOT Vegetarian!!" Director/writer Dan O’Bannon’s gory, gleeful, punk-rock godfather of SHAUN OF THE DEAD. In this unofficial "sequel" to NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, gas canisters leak at a medical supply warehouse, evaporate and then inadvertently rain down on the nearby cemetery and mortuary. Much skull-splitting, brain-eating hilarity ensues… along with a punked-out Linnea Quigley’s unforgettable erotic cemetery dance! With Clu Gullager and Don Calfa as Burt and Ernie. Production design by William Stout. With a great soundtrack provided by The Damned, Roky Erickson, The Flesh Eaters and The Cramps. "send… more... paramedics."
NIGHT OF THE CREEPS
1986, Sony Repertory, 88 min, USA, Dir: Fred Dekker
When a couple of pledges thaw out the corpse of a fraternity member who was infected by aliens, they unleash a zombie epidemic on campus. A loving homage to the B movies of the 1950s. MONSTER SQUAD auteur Fred Dekker directs this cult favorite that gave Tom Atkins the role of a lifetime. "The good news is your dates are here. The bad news is...they're dead."
